"A Guide for the Curious Outsider and The Serious Player" Lots of good
information about Leathersex and the gay male leather scene and play.
Includes some history and spiritual insights from a very experienced and
thoughful participant in the leather scene.

A systematic guide for novices that has the feel of an SM textbook.
On the Safe Edge was reviewed by a group of leather men and women so that
it would reflect the perspectives of tops, bottoms, gays, hets, and
players with different specialties.

This lyrical exploration of SM and leather popularized the idea of
an endorphin high. One of the first books to take SM seriously as
a spiritual journey.

We are open to suggestions for additions or deletions to this list.
The list would be supplemented by a bibliography of additional books.

We would attempt to get these books on library shelves in a variety of
ways:

Lobbying library acquisition committees to purchase the books.
Lobbying faculty members and researchers to request the books of their libraries.
Raising money and donating sets of books to libraries.

As support for the lobbying part of the program we will be soliciting
endorsements from academics and professionals in the social and health
sciences.

Difficulties or resistance that we feel is due to political or
censorship issues will be referred to appropriate committees,
organizations or individuals.

Our initial goal is 100 Libraries!!

What can you do?

1. Let us, as a co-ordinating committee, know that you're interested in
starting a local project.

2. Set up a local committee to work on the project--it can be part of
an existing organization, part of a coalition or a free-standing, ad hoc
group.

3. Identify which schools in your area you would like to contact.

4. Define funding strategy--will you be supported by a group or groups,
or do you have to do your own fundraising? Are you collecting funds just
to cover postage, telephones, computer access, or are you going to be
donating books?

5. Identify the libraries acquisition policies.

6. Try to locate sympathetic individuals at the institutions involved.

7. Sell them the idea!!

8. Report your results back to the co-ordinating committee (good or bad)
to be shared with the other groups around the country.
